1954 Map of Canyon Of Lodore North

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Green River carves a deep path through the Canyon of Lodore in this mid-century survey of the Dinosaur National Monument region. The landscape is defined by its isolation and the marks of early high-country ranching and trapping life, with several homesteads noted as abandoned by the time of the 1954 field check. These include the Craig Place (Aban) near Craig Draw and the Wade and Curtis Cabin (Aban) perched above the river. The map details a transition from the high plateaus of Diamond Mountain and Offield Mountain down to the treacherous river rapids at Upper Disaster Falls and Lower Disaster Falls. This terrain serves as a record of mid-century federal land management, evidenced by the Lodore Ranger Station and the established Monument Boundary that separates the protected canyon from the surrounding basins. Local landmarks like Gates of Lodore and Dummy Bottom highlight the river-centric geography of northern Moffat County.
